Bilt Rewards and Douglas Elliman Property Management Announce New Landmark Partnership
Bilt Rewards ("Bilt"), the leading payments and rewards platform, announced today that Douglas Elliman, a major independent residential real estate brokerage with one of the largest property management divisions in New York City, is the first major condo and co-op property management firm to join the Bilt Rewards Alliance.

This marks a significant expansion for the Bilt Rewards Alliance, which was established in collaboration with leading residential real estate companies and currently spans over four million homes nationwide.
